1927 S Peace dollar grade?

Hi all. Due to the drastic climb in value for this year/mm in MS grades I'd like to get a consensus on grade opinions. What do you all think?

Peace dollars imo are one of the hardest coins to grade when not in hand. That being said, I'll take a stab at it.

AU-55. I see some wear on the high points. Lots of contact marks on the face and neck. Coin still appears to have decent luster though.

 

I see a lot of unappealing circulation marks, particularly on the obverse...........AU50.

AU, many marks including scratches on the face, quite a bit of wear.

 

ok thanks guys. I appreciate it. It is tough to draw the line (for me anyway) between AU and MS when there is so much luster present.

 

Maybe it's just the pics, but the coin looks like it's been improperly cleaned/scrubbed.

 

An AU coin will usually have most of the mint luster, but it is the traces of wear that will separate it from an MS coin.
